Full color high resolution vinyl banners are an effective way to promote grand openings, trade shows and sales events.
Our durable, excellent quality banners are also perfect for building signs, expos, item promotion, exhibits, special occasions, corporate events and any other display purpose.
Preparing your Large Format Files : Create your file in CMYK mode with a resolution of 150dpi.
If you file has been created in RGB or includes RGB objects, we recommend converting the file to CMYK.
Your artwork should reflect only what you need to be printed in the final product. Do not include bleeding or crop marks in your artwork and make certain is sent in the same size as you have ordered or in the same ratio.
When selecting Hemming, leave a 1.25in safe area within your finalized artwork. This area is where the hemming will go over the banner (Make sure there is no important text or logos in this area).
In order to provide you the fastest turn around, all artworks for Large Format products are sent directly to press and we do not have a PDF proof option available. We will not be responsible for any reprints if your file is sent in a different size or ratio other than the measurements specified in your order.
If you are working with vector images (in programs like Adobe Illustrator), the final size artwork is not necessary unless you have placed photographs into your document. Then the above guidelines will apply.
All fonts should be converted to curves or outlines. We suggest your files to be flatten or rasterized if possible to minimize the file size.
We accept the following file formats: EPS, TIF, PSD, & PDF files. JPG files are accepted, but they must be prepared properly (It's strongly suggested that the JPG is created the closest size possible to the final print size or at least in a 50% scale with 150dpi).
Grommets : For our grommets we use Silver Nickel Grommets Size #2 (3/4" outside diameter) with a hole diameter of 3/8"
Standard Grommets : Silver grommets will be evenly place along the edge of your banners on an average of every 3ft.
(Ex. A banner 8' X 4' would have 4 grommets on top and 4 grommets on bottom.)
4 Corners Grommets : Grommets are placed only on the 4 corners of the banner.
All Banners equal and smaller than 4ft x 2ft will only include grommets in the corners.
Pole Pockets : 1" Pole pockets are made by folding an extra 3 inches of blank media towards the back side of the banner and sewing it together. The 1" Pole Pocket accommodates for Poles or Rods up to 0.5" in diameter. The 2" Pole Pocket accommodates for Poles or Rods up to 1" in diameter.If you need a pole pocket for a pole thicker than 1" please indicated in the Special Instructions Box at the time of uploading your artwork or contact us for advice. Your artwork should include a "safety zone" of 3", within your final output size, along the side(s) that the pole pocket(s) will be created. Avoid any important text or logos in this area. If you have a white background in your artwork please include a bounding box with a 1pt stroke in gray color.
For 8 feet (height) banners please be advised that the pole pockets will reduce your final size 6 inches due to the pocket fold. Pole pockets running longer than 8 feet may include an extra charge of $5.00.
Pole Pocket's Holding Grommets: Holding grommets refers to our sliver nickel grommets placed on the edges right were the pole pocket starts. These grommets improve the strength of the pole pocket for heavier rods or poles. This option is also gives the banner the option to be hanged by the grommets when poles are not available. |
